World Cup Draw

[Cavalier]

Our first game against Haiti in Boston will kick off at 2.00 in the morning UK time.

Aye, the other 2 are 2300.

First 2 in Boston with the 3rd in Miami.

 

[Wishbone]

By the ELO ranking, if that matters, they are 22nd and we are 27th.

What's the Electric Light Orchestra got to do with football ranking?

Don't know....it all just came out of the blue.

 

[Jack]

All the pub owners up and down the country put their head in their hands and shout AWE FUCK when they see the kick off times.

A mega (not maga) summer bonus has disappeared into the black of the night

And I've just lost 3 good great night's out!

I see the Sunday express is blaming the SNP already. It’s all the Scottish government’s fault apparently because of the licensing hours that is the remit of local authorities, which they go on the mention in the small print after the screaming attention grabbing headline.
Fucking gaslighting bastards.

Yup.
Cant get it out of my head....

2026 World Cup: 'Pride Match' to feature Egypt and Iran - where homosexuality is illegal

A 2026 World Cup fixture designated by organisers as an LGBTQ+ 'Pride Match' will feature two countries where homosexuality is illegal.

www.bbc.com

Why the hell are they having a pride match?

Featuring 2 countries where being gay is illegal.

I wish FIFA would stop the woke virtue signalling,and concentrate on the event.

Delighted for Scotland to have qualified fully deserved they had a fantastic campaign. Fingers crossed we ( Ireland ) can join you there if we can get through our play offs. Planning on going over if we get there.

England games are 2100 hours x 2 and 2200 hours x 1

 

[HaarlemShuffler]

England games are 2100 hours x 2 and 2200 hours x 1

Is that perceived duration of match or starting time

 

[joethehibby]

No surprise there, need to keep their home fans, and the bookies happy, after they received a difficult draw . How they let that happen I can’t imagine

Cheers Jimmy my friend appreciate it. Sorry haven’t been in contact I was away sorting myself out for a couple of months.

As long as your feeling better mate.

Would love to see him get more game time for Ireland. Our weakest spot in our team in midfield and he could do a great job for us in there.

 

[CorkHibee1875]

As long as you’re feeling better mate.

Feeling a lot better than I was fresh and a clear mind so all good now mate. Hopefully we pump the Huns on Monday.

I think the worst thing about the ko time is that kids won't really get to see the first round of Scotland games. I know 6 yo kids who are obsessed with football and bursting with excitement about the world cup who won't see Scotland live on telly.

Other countries' 6 year olds are available at these times. It's a big old world and someone has to miss out unfortunately. Hopefully next times time slots will be better for Eur/Uk.

Tobe fair tae Ryan togo to Togo you have tobe able todo a few connections. Although if its tobe a round trip I'm no too sure if he needs togo to the immigration office and ask them todo more visas.
